If we were to finance the cash house and then use it as the down for the other house we would then have a mortgage on 2.  

There's not any real difference tax-wise from owning the house in an LLC vs owning the property as an individual.In the case of a neutral cash-flowing property, frankly there's no income.

I have a house in BA being rented out,  to price is a set amount and that's what they shown in disbursement to me, however I got a copy on the current leasing agreement with the tenets and found it that they are charging tenets an additional fee for the appliances I provided,  as well as the pet fee,  both of which they are keeping, and if an appliance breaks or carpets are damaged,  i have to replace them... is this legal?

I am doing a rehab on a house built in 2001. 

Would you be interested in a house hack type of property?

And with it, housing location choice. 

Ensure that it complies with federal, state, and local housing laws.

I want a Smokies house, and had my eye on this going into May.

Housing stock in RI is older, look at the lead laws and see what it would take for your property to comply. 

I'm interested in working with insurance companies on housing displaced families.
